4200 Department of Alcohol & Drug Programs
Budget-Balancing Reductions
  • The Governor's Budget includes General Fund reductions of $6.5 million in 2007-08 and $28.1 million in 2008-09, after exempting $8.9 million General Fund which is passed through to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), consistent with the CDCR's reduction plan.

  • The major budget-balancing reductions include:

    Reductions of $2.5 million in 2007-08 and $16.1 million and 5.8 positions in 2008-09 for Alcohol and Other Drug Programs, primarily resulting from a reduction in Drug Medi-Cal provider rates.

    Reductions of $3.3 million in 2007-08 and $10 million and 3.0 positions in 2008-09 for the Substance Abuse Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (Proposition 36). This reduction in the amount of state funding will not change sentencing law requirements under Proposition 36.

    Reductions of $667,000 in 2007-08 and $2 million and 0.4 positions in 2008-09 for the Substance Abuse Offender Treatment Program. This program serves offenders eligible for treatment under Proposition 36.
